Buy her out at a reasonable price. You're stuck with that. Hire an attorney to make it official.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When you put her in title, you gave her an undivided half interest in the property, in other words, she owns half of the equity. You will need to work it out with her. Good advice to hire an attorney--if you do it wrong, you might be stuck buying her out again.
